And Lineker, 55, thinks that Klopp is the man for the job saying: "In the time I spent with him, Jurgen Klopp was enigmatic, larger than life and extremely quick-witted.

"He is unique as a football manager in many ways and that is what makes him so entertaining."

Lineker went on to address Klopp's recent loss against new Premier League contenders Burnley by saying: "There will always be questions when Liverpool lose and some supporters will always complain but the general feeling is still that they are going in the right direction under Klopp.
